I Did It!

I called a local tanning salon yesterday and made an appointment. I was in by 6:30 last night. It was great. I only spent 10 minutes in their lowest UV bed and I emerged a completely better person.

Just feeling the warm lights on my body made me happy.

I got home just in time to get Sissy in the bath, get all our evening routine things finished up and then was able to enjoy one of the 2 TV shows I watch when they air: American Idol (the other show is Survivor - and I know it makes me a complete dumbass to love those shows, but at least I'm not glued to the tube for hours every single night).

It was a 2 hour show, so I wasn't able to wrap up my blog and set it to post for 6 am as I usually do. I was just beat after the day of running around. Plus, I spent the time watching TV on my exercise ball. I really need to do something about my mid-section. So, I got my exercise ball, added some more air (it was getting low) and bopped around on that for almost 2 hours.

Now, I'm up again and I need to make lunch for Buddy.

For whatever reason, every Wednesday, his school serves a "breakfast" lunch. And for whatever reason, he doesn't like eggs, sausage, etc. What can I say? He's our child. Although, the Evil Twin and I LOVE breakfast for lunch or dinner.

Anyway, part of my job here as the HO™ (that's Home Office, for those who didn't know - it's what the Evil Twin's co-workers call me), is making lunches. I pack one for the Evil Twin on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Buddy almost always has hot lunch at school, except on the dreaded breakfast lunch days... which is Wednesday.

Lovely. I can't even get a break from packing a lunch. Some mornings, I have to do both Buddy's and the Evil Twin's!

I also have laundry to do today. As you can tell, it's all very glamorous around here.

When I'm not scrubbing toilets (we have three), I'm doing something else equally as impressive, like wiping down the counter tops or cleaning the kitchen sink. Stop yer hatin'! It's all part of my job description as HO™.

Also, I added a new recipe to the Glamorous Recipe site. I'll be adding a few more in the next few days and I have several to try before posting them.

you are a gorgeous girl !! and you make me smile- thank you !the tanning beds warm lights sound tempting as does breakfast for lunch.it sounds glamerous this life of yours- yes indeed it does.......lol Lisa xx

TGG, is right on the Vitamin D (get the liquid kind where 5 drops in your palm gives you 10k ccs). Nurse Grasshopper has been on me about it all winter. Really makes a difference in how she feels (I still have yet to open my box, but i'm listening now that TGG brings it up too). Love love love breakfast for any meal!

I'm a total 'American-idol-lover-and-proud-of-it' and am thinking that it was ALMOST a waste of my time last night. I am pulling for Milwaukee native (my back yard), Danny Gokey to take the crown this year, and am liking Alexis Grace too so far.

As far as the tanning bed. Yes, the warm lights make me happy too, but only after I freeze my ass off after putting on all of the great smelling accellerant leaving me a greased little piggy shaking in her boots. It takes about 6 minutes into my 10 - 15 stint to stop shivering.

Reggie - thanks! I know you all want to scrub toilets every day as I do. :-)

Lisa- breakfast for lunch or dinner is my fave time to have it. Too much a hassle first thing in the morning, ya know?

fattie20xl - She does have weird teeth. They look like baked beans. I have a steam mop. I'll get right on that. Thanks....

Ron - A proper HO knows her duties and performs them to the best of her abilities. Be choosy!

Gigi - I signed up for the package of 20, so that would be an affirmative. I am fair, but I don't burn. I always get decent color over the summer.

Lisha - I know! I came home in such a great mood last night too.

TGG - How sad is it that I like to peruse the cleaning aisle to find new products to make my scrubby days easier? Is it just me?

BB - I am all over that Vit. D now with my tanning package. LOL.

Ginger - they also make the full spectrum lights that make people feel better in the winter.

Red - I like your two AI picks so far as well. And, I just do the: throw on teeny bikini bottom and fling myself in the bed, whilst draping a bandeau top over the girls a bit. Although those lotions do smell great!

Momma - Mine can't be trusted to pack their own lunches. Not even the Evil Twin. He would say, "I'm too busy this morning. I'll just eat at Burger King."

Trisha - there does seem to be an unequal balance with housework where both spouses have full time jobs too. I don't get it...

You're doing something wrong. I swear my mother never made a lunch post 1972. I have no clue what the Former Father did for lunch (don't remember), but I remember making my own lunch starting in the 3rd grade and before that my older brother and sister made my lunch - we technically shared the duty between ourselves after that, but my brother and I would try to beat my sister to it because she'd make us bologna which we hated and despised and we'd rather have PB&J.

I had breakfast and supper for supper tonight at Shoney's because it was my birthday. I'm still waiting on my birthday present you promised.

My wife does most of the cleaning at our house. I do run the vacuum. She told me "nothing turns me on like seeing a man run the vacuum cleaner". I think she may be pulling my leg but I cannot take that chance....Al...

Ahh, lunch making...I am so glad to be on bread from that. I was making five lnches a morning at one time, and they all wanted different things. Now I make 3 lunches once a week. I did put the older kids in charge of making thier dads lunch for a few months...that was a great idea on my part :).

About Me

I like to share my somewhat boring lifestyle with my adoring public. I'm part Heloise and part Hell on Wheels. I have two really great children - a boy and a girl. They are my raison d'etre. And I don't even LIKE to speak french.
I graduated from Marshall with a degree in Advertising Journalism. I figure this blog will be a good use of my degree. Wouldn't my dad be proud?
Honestly, if you don't have a twisted sense of humor - move on. There won't be much else for you here.
